First off i don't think you want air cylinders. They ride like [censored]. You are going to want air struts. I am looking for some myself and i found them at aim. Here is the link Ford contour struts . They are about 1500 for a complete set with a crapy compressor. If you drive alot you should upgrade your air compressor to something more heavy duty. They have kits but you still have to buy the size of air line and valves and so on seperate. Like i said a total package is about 1500 but you still need that new compressor. At least i recomend it. When are you thinking about buying them. I guess they take stock contour struts and modify a air bag bracket for the bag to sit on. I would recomend a rear sway bar to help keep good handling. I hope i helped.

yea, www.truckn-store.com is pretty good for airride stuff. ur gonna need strut bags, not cyliners and accumulators. airline is very cheap. figure about $30 for 100ft of teflon 3/8 airline. make sure you get quality brass fittings, not those crappy plastic ones. get at least a 6gal tank, or even a few smaller ones to equal 6+ gallons, and a 3/4hp 100% duty compressor. the strutbags alone will cost about $1,000 usually, and the rest of the stuff with install will bring your total to a lil over $2k probably. check my page out for details of my setup.... http://www.deanjoyce.com/mystique/index.htm

i've heard before on NECO that you could do air cylinders on the rears but not on the fronts because they'll break.
